I remember one January night at Place de Tertre. It was just getting dark and the place was empty except for one lone artist hoping for a tourist to draw. It was odd seeing it like that, it is usually very active. I had dinner at Chez Eugene, I was the only customer for a while. A few locals wandered in as I was finishing up. The theme of your photo reminded me of that night.
You know, it's so touristy, and yet it's so darned fun to watch these guys paint! I have to admit that I can easily get suckered into watching and enjoying every second. Maybe not buying... but I love to see them at work! This is a very nice character study.

ReplyDeleteA lot of daily life is just 'taking it all in'.

ReplyDeleteHe does look quite lost in thought.
ReplyDeleteI see the Steve Finnell spammer hasn't done the world a favour yet and stopped breathing.
What a wonderful photograph. Obviously, the man has done some fine work. I think he's meditating a bit, perhaps waiting a burst of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteNice capture, Genie! I remember this—there were lots of tourists, but not a lot of buyers apparently.
ReplyDeleteWho said "The Mind is a place in itself"?
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be thinking on a sketch. I hope he sold many paintings.
Great picture of being human.
